Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of glycogen (starch) synthase activity; positive regulation of glycogen biosynthetic process; and response to insulin. Located in cytoplasmic side of endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cortical plate; and embryo. Orthologous to human EPM2AIP1 (EPM2A interacting protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

The authors conclude that laforin's principle function is to control glycogen chain lengths, in a malin-dependent fashion, and that loss of this control underlies Lafora disease.
Title: Abnormal glycogen chain length pattern, not hyperphosphorylation, is critical in Lafora disease.
We show that the absence of Epm2aip1 in mice impairs allosteric activation of GS by glucose 6-phosphate, decreases hepatic glycogen synthesis, increases liver fat, causes hepatic insulin resistance, and protects against age-related obesity
Title: Deficiency of a glycogen synthase-associated protein, Epm2aip1, causes decreased glycogen synthesis and hepatic insulin resistance.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
